Answer:

Total books sold= 463,014 books

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of books sold= 33,800 copies

This represents 7.3 of the number of copies sold to date.

To calculate the total number of books sold, we need to use the following formula:

Total books sold= number of books sold in the month / proportion of books sold

Total books sold= 33,800 / 0.073

Total books sold= 463,014 books
